Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Between 3 and 9 months of age, infants gradually focus their attention on faces.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your baby can see objects about 45 cm away. Your baby will watch you move around now, following you with their eyes from side to side as well as up and down. Your 2-month-old is more alert to sound and will look at you when you talk. Your baby is also more vocal, gurgling and making single vowel sounds like ‘a’ or ‘o’.

Detailed explanation-3: -By 2 months your baby will have discovered their fingers and hands. They will hold their hands open and grab an object (although they don’t know how to let go yet!) They might also clasp both hands together. 2-month-old babies will start to learn how to coordinate their movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Babies should begin to follow moving objects with their eyes and reach for things at around three months of age.

Detailed explanation-5: -Months 2 to 4: Your baby will start to recognize her primary caregivers’ faces, and by the 4-month mark, she’ll recognize familiar faces and objects from a distance.
